i have 20 that were in my "/claim" award. i have had them for 2 or 3 years as i had no idea how to use them. tyvm for the recliam infor. and you people need to stop whinning and ******** about every little thing and try to enjoy yourself. member since 2002. =D

When you have a T5 merc at lvl 76 plat can come to be an issue at times. When your merc cost 80 some plat every 15min it gets a bit pricie after you been hunting for a while. These are great for when i need to do plat farming. And no my lvl 76 is not a twink it is my main toon. I got help from a few guildies to get my merc. I bought mine with free SC I got some how. Will I pay real cash for them I think NOT. But since they where free I figured why not.

Oh in order for them to work you need to reclaim them into your alt. Currency. I know I know for most of us it dont need to be said but there aare a few out there that does not know how these things work. Face it we have all been there before. No one starts there first toon know everything about the game. I know I didn't! At lvl 76 I still think of myself as a noooob.

as if we dont pay enough alrdy for this dang game? now they want cash for our mercs? give me a break if marks paid for hour at a time maybe like ariakus said maybe for higher tier mercs but if you have a t5 merc is plat a real issue for you? i am only t3 and usually have 200k plus in my bank and dont see how this is anything more then sony greed too seperate us from more of our cash~!

OMFG! Where do you people come from? I can understand whining about items being nerfed or bugged quests and what not but this takes the cake. Sony this, Sony that. Waahhh! I want my mommy! Give ME a break. This is probably the most useful item you can buy with Station cash unless you'd rather spend your hard earned money on stupid weapon ornamentations or useless familiars following you around. Someone give this guy his baba. Hats off to Sony for doing something right for a change.

Five (5) hours of free merc time for $1 US is cheap in my opinion. With the 3x station cash going on now it's up to 15 hours plat free merc time. For those of us who can't make a career of plat farming this is just exactly what we need to enjoy the game without having to spend what little time is available on monotonous grinds.
